Ohio State RB Carlos Hyde might be better than Eddie Lacy
Ohio State RB Carlos Hyde is a massive thumper, and Saturday he ran through Illinois. Hyde ran for 246 yards and scored five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) in the Buckeyes' 60-35 win. He is this year's Eddie Lacy, and Hyde might be better. An All-SEC 2012 season for Alabama launched Lacy's NFL career -- he was a second-round pick of the Packers in April -- and he is a top candidate for offensive rookie of the year this season. His pro career is off to a tremendous start, but I think Hyde's feet might be a little better than Lacy's. He has really helped Ohio State diversify its offense since he came back from that early-season three-game suspension. He has tremendous size and great vision as a runner.
The backups would get a lot more carries in that hypotheticalBeanie behind this line? C'mon.
Durability? Sure. Still rushed for 1600 yds behind a line that would be second string at best on this team, and routinely faced 8 or 9 in the box all game long
Yes, but I'll take the guy I can expect to be in the lineup. Beanie, in my opinion, was more talented, but Hyde has other intangibles I prefer.Durability? Sure.
